Manchester United reject PSG's approach for Adnan Januzaj

Manchester United have rejected an approach for Adnan Januzaj from Paris Saint-Germain, according to the teenager’s agent.

The French champions tried to buy the Belgian winger in last summer’s transfer window and have contacted United again about taking the player, his representative Dirk de Vriese claimed.

“Yes, PSG have shown themselves to be interested this winter,” the agent told the French website Foot Mercato. “They directly contacted Manchester United for information.”

Despite being heralded by David Moyes, the former United manager, as one of the world’s standout young players, Januzaj has struggled to achieve regular first-team football under Louis van Gaal, the Scot’s successor. He has made only 13 club appearances this term.

Januzaj has been keen to go on loan this January to try to gain more playing time but the manager has so far insisted the 19-year-old must remain at the club.
